Omg, this is really bad! Today’s patch looked promising, but the new bugs it introduced are much worse. 
The first question is of course:
Is this bug newly introduced, or was it already there but just coincidently only discovered now? Seeing as to how we cannot play on a prior version anymore, we cannot test this. AGS obviously can.
Second of all, do keep in mind that there are hundreds of thousands of people playing this game. Odds of them finding a bug, is high. Even with ridiculous repetitive things like this, such as rapid crouching and standing within a healing circle. Someone will do it once, notice it’s off, tell a friend, who tells a friend or two as well. And it’ll spread like wildfire.
Another thing to keep in mind is that many of these bugs may also not have been identified all that fast, but discovered previously in alpha, but kept secret, due to their obvious PvP advantages. Once put into practice though in the real product, other people will however catch on on certain oddities and start trying themselves, getting out the tactic as well.
And don’t underestimate this sort of behavior. Better yet, for WoW there actually was / is an underground market where this sort of exploit knowledge is sold for real life money. Because well yeh, people are weird

This is game breaking
Really? Whats next? Mortal combat button combo for a precious skin?

Hey everyone,
The team is aware and looking into this bug now. We’ll be sure to update when we have more information.
this is so critical you need to disable all skills that leave an aoe on the ground. It’s not limited to just Sacred Ground. It applies to Ice Storm, the aoe from Fireball, and more.
It also works on Ice Storm from Ice Gauntlet:
Looks fine for me Kappa
AHAHAHAHAH nice now enable outpost rush in East Coast
oh lol wow…didn’t expect that honestly
SMH 
At least it balances each other out in a fair manner
.
I am feeling sorry already for the community managers out here.
Outpost rush bugged, transfers bugger, auction house bugged, healing bugged, tbagging bugged…
Only if the Ice Storm deals more damage per tick.

I’m feeling really sorry for the devs. The shit they’re getting from management right now must be unreal. No one’s going home early tonight.
Insane
This game is hopeless, it’s baffling how the number and magnitude of bugs and broken features is actually INCREASING with each patch.
This bug compensates for the bugged light attack heal no longer working properly I guess…
